Spring panfish stockings of FiN ponds have been completed, and adult channel catfish are now being caught for waters scheduled to receive them; these fish have had an average weight of 1.6 lb each. Catfish stockings should be wrapped up before the July 4 holiday. For stocking updates visit the Recent Fish Stocking page.

Despite a fair amount of rain since Memorial Day weekend, overall water levels remain comparably low. That, in combination with some warm spring weather, have made most in-shore areas shallower and thicker with plants or algae. Such conditions might be just the prompt you need to try wading or using a float tube or small, portable craft for the first time. If you are a rookie at fishing this way, learn and fish with more-experienced partners and be prepared.
